MP Peter Salasya Shoots His Shot at Khalif Kairo’s Ex, Cera Imani – Will She Respond?
Kenyan politics just got a dose of romance as Mumias East MP Peter Salasya publicly expressed interest in Cera Imani, the stunning ex-girlfriend of entrepreneur and musician Khalif Kairo. The outspoken legislator took to social media, hinting at his admiration for Imani, sparking a flurry of online reactions.
Salasya’s Bold Declaration
In a recent post, Salasya shared a photo of Cera Imani, captioning it:
“Nikimaliza kujenga nyumba yangu this year, huyu naeza maintain.”
Loosely translated, the MP was suggesting that once he completes building his home, he would be in a position to “maintain” (financially support) Imani—an audacious remark that immediately caught the attention of netizens.
Salasya’s lighthearted yet bold comment comes after his past public pursuit of socialite Huddah Monroe, a move that did not materialize. Following that, he revealed he was shifting focus to a “more local” and down-to-earth” woman. Now, it seems Cera Imani has captured his interest.
Who is Cera Imani?
Cera Imani gained public attention due to her past relationship with businessman and content creator Khalif Kairo. The two were known for their high-profile romance, but after their breakup, Imani remained in the spotlight. In a recent post, she confirmed that she has moved on and is now in a happy and loving relationship.
This revelation raises an important question: Is Salasya too late to the party? While the MP might be openly shooting his shot, it remains unclear whether Imani will respond or if she even considers his advances seriously.
Social Media Frenzy
Salasya’s comments ignited discussions across various platforms, with fans and critics weighing in on the situation:
🔥 Some applauded his confidence, saying he is a man who goes after what he wants.
😂 Others found humor in his “maintain” remark, with memes quickly circulating.
❌ A few questioned why a sitting MP would focus on celebrity relationships instead of development issues.
Meanwhile, Imani has remained silent on the matter, neither acknowledging nor rejecting Salasya’s public display of interest.
Will Salasya Win Her Over?
With no official response from Cera Imani, the ball is in her court. Will she entertain the MP’s advances, or will this be another Huddah Monroe situation for Salasya? Only time will tell.
What do you think? Does Salasya have a chance, or is this a political crush destined for heartbreak? Let us know in the comments!

Mumias East MP Salasya Vows to Challenge President Ruto in 2027: “Ready to Send Him to Sugoi”
Mumias East Member of Parliament, Peter Salasya, has made a bold declaration that he is prepared to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections. The youthful legislator, known for his fiery speeches and grassroots mobilization, is confident that he can unseat the president, stating that he is “ready to send Ruto to Sugoi”—a reference to the president’s rural home.
Salasya’s Criticism of Ruto’s Policies
Salasya has been a vocal critic of President Ruto’s leadership, particularly on economic and governance issues. The MP has repeatedly accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of failing to prioritize critical sectors such as manufacturing and industrialization, which he believes are key to solving the country’s unemployment crisis.
“If the presidential candidates will not address manufacturing and industrialization in Kenya, I will then be vying for the presidency come 2027,” Salasya said in a recent statement. He argues that Kenya must shift focus from over-reliance on agriculture and service-based industries to large-scale production to create more job opportunities.
Salasya has also been at the forefront of opposing some of Ruto’s executive orders. One of his strongest criticisms was against the president’s decision to scrap the vetting process for acquiring National Identification Cards in the North Eastern region. The MP warned that such a move could pose serious security risks, potentially allowing non-residents and even militants to obtain Kenyan citizenship without scrutiny.
“Scrapping off the vetting process of acquiring ID cards is mandatory in Northern Kenya; that’s the only way you can distinguish locals and non-locals,” Salasya argued.
Salasya’s Growing Popularity and Political Ambitions
Despite being a first-time MP, Salasya has quickly risen to prominence in Kenya’s political arena. His social media presence, direct engagement with citizens, and fearless criticism of the ruling government have earned him a significant following. His approach resonates with many young Kenyans who feel left out of economic opportunities under the current administration.
Salasya has positioned himself as a voice for the youth, pushing for policies that promote job creation, affordable education, and improved healthcare. His insistence on industrialization as a top priority for the next government signals his broader economic vision should he vie for the presidency.
The 2027 Presidential Race: Can Salasya Pose a Real Threat to Ruto?
President William Ruto, who won the 2022 elections against Raila Odinga, remains a formidable political figure with strong grassroots support, particularly in the Rift Valley and Central Kenya. However, Salasya’s confidence in unseating him reflects the growing dissatisfaction among some Kenyans over the high cost of living, joblessness, and unmet campaign promises.
The 2027 elections are expected to be highly competitive, with opposition leaders, including Azimio la Umoja’s Raila Odinga, also considering another bid for the presidency. If Salasya follows through with his pledge to run, he will likely position himself as an alternative candidate representing young and marginalized voters.
A Political Underdog or a Future Leader?
While Salasya’s declaration has sparked mixed reactions, his growing popularity cannot be ignored. Some analysts argue that his presidential bid might be premature given his short political career, while others believe his boldness and grassroots connection could shake up Kenya’s political landscape.
As 2027 approaches, Salasya will need to build a strong political network, secure endorsements, and prove that he can be a serious contender against seasoned politicians. Whether or not he runs, his criticism of the government and push for industrialization will continue to shape political discourse in Kenya.
For now, one thing is clear: Salasya is not afraid to take on Kenya’s most powerful leader, and his journey to 2027 will be one to watch.
